Thanks for watching - looking for advice on this problem... The laptop was purchased 1.5 years ago, and, of course, it's out of warranty.
When I press the power button, the power light comes on for a fraction of a second, followed by a small POP sound that seems to be coming from that wafer with the power switch on it. The computer does not continue to boot/load/think/power up - it just sits.
I've tried it with the battery in/out as well as plugged in/not plugged in.
Any suggestions on what I should do?

I have an Acer extensa 5630ez , would'nt turn on for ages after being switched of . I looked on Fixya.com , then with my heart in my mouth removed the R138 resistor from the top side of the mobo, now it turns on instantly and I saved myself a fortune because ,yes you have guessed it , it was out of warranty. Spread the word.

@usukker check fans for objects or clean them. probably was dust.

did you get this problem after you opened it or before?
I had same problem and noticed i was missing screws and remembered hearing a noise while moving the laptop. So i checked the fans and it turned out to be a screw stuck on the fan. Took it out of the way and turned on just fine.
